Constipation
Constipation is not just an uncomfortable nuisance; it actually can cause more serious health effects when waste products marked for excretion are recycled within our system. Our large bowel or colon is an organ of elimination mainly dedicated to dehydrate the waste products metabolized by our liver and allow them to leave our body. Any and all waste products processed through the liver will be eliminated through our colon.
Reasons for constipation include:
- stress
- sluggish bowel
- genetics
- poor lifestyle choices
You can shift your bowel health by ensuring that you drink al least 2 liters of water daily, exercise, and focus on adding more fiber to your diet. Natural medicine can help constipation immensely. Using a combination of food, fiber, minerals, and herbs constipation can be reversed gently and effectively. Without causing bowel dependence commonly caused with laxatives. |

Patient Testimonials
"Dear Dr. Purcell, Dr. Kupperman and Melissa,
We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your guidance, expertise and patience. As you know, my husband Tom was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March 2010. Due to your vast knowledge of nutrition, supplementation, you were one of the first people we turned to for advice. Your support and valuable suggestions were literally life savers. All in all, it has turned out great. Tom is cancer free, his surgery was successful, his last PSA on the 3 month check up was an outstanding “0” and he will not require any radiation. We will continue to monitor him as well as stick to the supplementation and food regimen you have suggested! Thank you for your wisdom, knowledge, experience and above all friendship at such a difficult time in our lives."
T. M., Irvine, CA
